FINALLY.

Here i am. FINALLY. after such a long period of worrying about my silly connection troubles... almost having to reformat my entire computer.... *sigh*

but here i am!!!! yay! and feeling all happy about having internet access of my own... :) felt so.... lost and lonely for a couple of days... no way of contacting home..... but now all's good. :)

been eating loads of korean delicacies... am totally absolutely in love with korean soju..... everyone in the world should try bamboo soju. *swoon*

campus is really beautiful too!! foggy mornings are perfect for walking out to the main entrance where there's a bus station taking us to the nearest substation that takes us into seoul... here's a couple of shots of the lake near my hostel.... lovely... loads of dragonflies flitting about overhead... and little ducks waddling about.. :)

first day here was spent settling in... went to lotte mart to shop for necessities. spent an entire BOMB on home stuff... pillows (two cos one was a bolster.......), one pillow cover (everyone should sew them and sell them here. you'd make a real killing..), bedspread-cum-mattress protector, comforter, tissue boxes, mug, bowl, cereal... all these.... then rushed back to hostel to drop them off before rushing to seoul for lunch with our professor... like.. an introduction lunch? it was lovely.. and their treat... professor shin and professor han...

then since prof han works at space group, the archi firm we're interning at, he decided to take us for an unofficial visit to the office. it was GORGEOUS. make the call for yourselves.

we took a long LONG stroll around central seoul.... and came across a very very famous stream... (originally real.. they filled it up.. then after a couple of years wanted it back again.. now it's a really nice place in the city to just chill along...

alright then... off to bed.... first day of work tomorrow!!! wish me luck... ciao..
